He's not alone

Nine was not the only one in disbelief when the chains wrapped around his body. As the chains made of pure spiritual energy held him captive, he dropped to his knees and stared at the floating silver-haired man. In that moment, a realization dawned on him – Kyle had never intended for him to partake in the impending battle!

"You lying piece of crap! You promised we would fight together!"

He refrained from attempting to break the chains because if the formidable woman who attempted to halt Kyle couldn't, how could he, a mere divine rank?

Nine clenched his fingers into fists, frustration evident on his face, as he observed identical chains that had tightly bound his body now swiftly enveloping every individual around him.
